Told ya I’d be back. It is now Sunday Monday of after another over scheduled weekend, and I am trying to catch up back to last week. Anyways, it rained last Monday, hard a few times, and I managed not only to bike to the University library and home again without getting significantly wet, I … [Read more…]
I started writing this last Wednesday (it’s Saturday now, actually continued on this Sunday, and it’s Monday now) and it was going to be titled “a week (or so) back from TIFF”. But as usual time has escaped me, so I’m going to work on the last 10 days or so that have gone by … [Read more…]
So we’ve been praying for rain, and yesterday we got it. Let’s Go Rain. Also had been singing Soft Boy’s Mr. Kennedy because in addition to rain it also mentions Pittsburgh. So, love. ♥ Not sure about Pittsburgh giving the synagogue shooter the death penalty, though. On the TV news last night they said 1.68 … [Read more…]
The (?) is because it’s been super cold the last couple of days. Here it is the 2nd weekend in June, and we had a lovely Memorial Day, by some miracle. We had a few really hot days, and some pretty hazy days from the Canadian wild fires, but we’ve had a lot of sunny … [Read more…]
I hope! I feel like this is kind of the danger zone, 5 weeks on crutches, that I hit once before when I started building up my walking and turned out my knee was still broken. I’m still trying NOT to walk farther than a couple of blocks, but last week I started biking again, … [Read more…]
My knee was doing so well – I had had a few days with really no pain at all. On the 7th, I got the OK to walk for longer than 15 minutes, and the physical therapist suggested I get some over the counter (OTC) orthotics since my custom ones don’t come till November 2 … [Read more…]
We have a pick up compost service and I’m supposed to leave the bucket out for them by 8:00AM on Sundays (I think they do restaurant and commercial customers during the week, so do individual homes on Sundays). On October 2 I forgot to leave the bucket out, then on October 9 they skipped us. … [Read more…]
… Actually almost two. Last the week of August 8th was kinda crazy – I took two days sorta off from work, Tuesday was election day and Thursday was my birthday. Sorta off because I worked the polls on Tuesday and then still did some grading in my online class afterward, and even on Thursday … [Read more…]
Oh yea, blueberries and impending trip to Door County. And stuff I’ve cooked and not posted. Looks like I’m just going to have to do another of those posts with lots of pics, and random thoughts that the pictures remind me of. So here goes: On the last Weds. in July, it was my turn … [Read more…]
I’ve even been eating breakfast at my computer, which I had pretty much stopped doing during this long work from home period. I stand at my computer so eating there seems pretty uncivilized. In the office, I would do it sometimes, and way back at the beginning of pandemic, I mirrored that behavior (pic below … [Read more…]
